Mac GNU Privacy Guard

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.4.1

Notes:
The GnuPG installer is for use with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).
The installer will not work on Mac OS X 10.1 or 10.2. This revision of
the installer has TIGER support disabled since it is not more supported
and is localized for English, French, German, Spanish and Swedish. If
you are interested in helping to provide more localizations, please
contact Alexander Nouak (nouak@users.sourceforge.net).

Administrator access is required to use this installer. The installed
binaries are available for use by all users of the system.

Users whose /usr and/or /Library directories are symbolic links to other
partitions may experience trouble using this installer. The installer
may erase those symlinks and create actual folders in their place on the
system partition. This is a problem with Apple's Installer utility, not
the installer package. If the problem does occur, it is possible to copy
the contents of the newly-created folders and re-create the symlinks
without causing any further problems.

GnuPG binaries provided by the MacGPG project do not contain the IDEA
cipher because of patent resitrictions. Instructions on how to build and
use IDEA encryption are located at the MacGPG website
(http://macgpg.sf.net/).

Please consult the Read Me file included in the disk image and presented
by the installer for further details.
